I can respect that people feel like this coaching search has turned into a money grab. But, to be fair, I have always been clear for many years that I think pretty much everyone who uses the site regularly should contribute yearly. I've never hidden from that position, and while running the fund drive here for several years have always been very up front and direct in my assertion that freeloaders are fags. This isn't some new thing. I've mocked free beer drinkers for years. It's sort of my thing.
The Wigwam was created years ago as a brainchild of mine and Derek's when we were bullshitting on the phone one day and hit on it. I was drunk as fuck I think, but Derek was sober as a Judge so it was probably his idea. We never saw the Wigwam as "denying anything to anyone." We always saw it as just a small but fun way to say thanks to those who really helped keep the lights on. For years it was mostly just tits and guns and malarkey. A fun place for the board regulars to say even dumber shit than gets said out here. No real value beyond a "treehouse" of sorts for our most loyal degenerates.
A couple years ago Derek and I were thinking about how we could make it more of a "thank you" for our loyal folks who have supported the site for many many years. We hit on the idea of having some paid content (articles and such) that we would pay for from the site and post unabridged in the Wam. We figured it was a nice way for people to more easily justify 129 bucks a year here if they were getting a couple of paid subscriptions to other sites "free." Still, we weren't trying to keep things from all the people who come here, but rather do something special for those who contributed.
Then a booster came here. Again, not with the idea of screwing over non-donators, but more with the idea of actually making that $129 bucks worth something more than just tits and some free articles, we asked him if he could post his most juicy nuggets in the Wam. He still posts some interesting stuff out here on the free beer boreds, but as a small thank you to our loyal contributors he posts his most intriguing stuff in there. And, in some cases it's to protect him as much as provide that thank you. That's why I am so serious about the "what's said in the Wam stays in the Wam." Not much of it, but a small portion, is sometimes of a sensitive nature.
Also, when nothing significant is going on there may only be an "insiders news" post once every couple months. It's not like we have Deep Throat posting weekly all kinds of inside shit. It's sporadic. The Wam is still 90% tits and free articles, and 10% actual inside the program stuff. So that's that. If you want to support the site then we give you a private tree house to view tits and read some free articles you may or may not find interesting. We have a program booster who occasionally posts interesting news and tidbits, but as has been previously mentioned he may quit doing that tomorrow. We don't pay him. He is under no obligation to tell us anything and could quit at any time.
So if you want to contribute do it. If you don't, don't. But when cool shit is happening in there don't think of it like we are "keeping things from you," but instead realize we are trying to do something at least a little bit special for the people who have helped this site out for years and years in many cases.
That's all I have to say about this. I put up some great 1st Nation tits today in honor of White Devil Day. Get some. Fags.
